Thanks for the replies! I am not using -b to start JBoss. And I am using JNDI.properties from the JBoss/server/default/conf folder. It has the following : # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING | # | java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory | java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces | Is some other value required in JNDI.properties?
